Unexpected #1 and now Unexpected #2

I am not sure how many of you know, but before I got pregnant with Teddy I had a miscarriage. I was almost 3 months along. It happened New Year's Eve at about 2 am. What a way to bring in the new year. It was so hard for me, but I have never been that close to the Savior. I have also been able to help some of my other friends because of this. We were going to wait a year before getting pregnant, but the Lord had a different plan for us. We got pregnant with our little boy whom I love and adore. He has got to be the cutest little boy on earth. Here are just a few pictures of him.

Happy Thanksgiving a year ago. Isn't he so small? Can you believe how small he is? Wow! How time flies.

Just him being cute with his little hat on.

He hates to be laying in the grass. He also doesn't like to crawl in grass and so he will stick his butt really high up in the air.

Well, the intensity is over, we are expecting our second bundle of joy sometime in April. I am somewhere between 12-13 weeks along. Like Teddy this was definitely unexpected, but again, the Lord had different plan for us. They will be about 17 months apart. We are excited and it will be wonderful.

Ambee congrats!! I am so excited for you. My husband and his brother are 14 months apart and my mother-in-law said that there were hard times, but the good times out weighed the hard times. They are best friends. Chet did move down one spot when we got married. I had to be #1!!
P.S. We need to do another girls night really soon.
